Construction company – Impregnating facades with ne

Challenge:

A construction company focused on sustainable new construction projects was faced with a growing problem: moisture problems in exterior walls. Rainwater penetrated the brickwork of the new construction projects, which led to:

Algae and mold formation:
The moisture problems caused algae and mold to quickly form on the facades. This not only affected the aesthetic appearance, but could also affect the structure of the brickwork, which in the long term required expensive repairs.

Decreased customer satisfaction:
Clients expect sustainable solutions from the construction company, but the quickly visible moisture problems undermine their trust. This resulted in negative feedback and pressure to provide solutions.

Higher maintenance costs:
Due to the recurring nature of the moisture problems, customers had to invest in repeated cleaning and treatment of the facades. This was at odds with the promised sustainable nature of the new construction projects.

The company realized that traditional methods, such as the use of standard impregnating agents, were not sufficient. These only offered temporary protection and could even affect the aesthetics of the stone by leaving a shiny or patchy finish. Therefore, the construction company set out to find an innovative solution that could guarantee long-term protection and aesthetic integrity.

Chemona's solution:

Chemona proposed a sustainable and effective solution with Steen Coat, an advanced nano coating that perfectly matched the needs of the construction company. This transparent coating offers:

Deep penetration:
Stone Coatpenetrates into the pores of the masonry and creates a long-lasting water-repellent barrier that prevents rainwater from penetrating. This drastically reduces the chance of moisture problems.

Invisible protection:
Unlike traditional coatings, Steen Coat does not change the color, texture or appearance of the stone. This means that the natural look of the facade is fully preserved, which is essential for aesthetically conscious customers.

Dirt and algae protection:
The coating not only prevents moisture problems, but also makes it more difficult for algae and dirt to adhere to the facades, keeping them clean and attractive for longer.

Practical application:

The implementation of Steen Coat was simple and efficient, which was a major advantage for the construction company:

Application:
Steen Coat could be applied quickly and without complex equipment by brush, roller or spray. This allowed the construction company to easily incorporate the coating into their standard work process, even on large projects. This flexibility ensures that the solution can be applied to all types of facades, from brick to natural stone.

Direct result:
After applying Steen Coat, the effects were immediately visible. Rainwater beaded off the facades, which gave both the construction team and their clients immediate confidence in the sustainability of the solution. This immediate impact also helped to significantly increase customer satisfaction.

Easy to maintain:
Due to the dirt and moisture-resistant properties of the coating, facades no longer needed to be intensively cleaned on a regular basis. Rinsing with water was sufficient to keep the facades clean, which not only saved time but also costs for the end users.

Results:

The application of Steen Coat delivered impressive results for the construction company and their customers:

Long-lasting protection:
The facades were protected from moisture and pollution for over 10 years thanks to Steen Coat. Even in environments with heavy rainfall, the buildings remained free of algae and mold. This meant that customers could enjoy a low-maintenance solution for years to come.

Aesthetic value:
The coating preserves the natural appearance of the brickwork, without gloss, discoloration or other visible changes. This was an important factor for customers who wanted to maintain an authentic and sustainable look for their building. The result was a facade that looked fresh and cared for even after years.

Sustainable image:
Steen Coat is an environmentally friendly solution that perfectly matches the construction company's commitment to sustainability. Thanks to the certification of sustainable materials, the construction company was able to fulfill its green promises. This was not only appreciated by customers, but also ensured that the company made more tenders in the public and private sectors.

Cost savings:
The construction company's customers benefited from lower maintenance costs, as intensive cleaning or repair work was no longer necessary. This made the construction company an attractive choice for customers looking for sustainable and economical solutions.

Customer response:"We were looking for a solution that would provide long-term protection for our facades without compromising on design. Thanks to Chemona's Steen Coat, our buildings continue to look new year after year, which fits perfectly with our vision of sustainability."
